What a wonderful way to say something in a moment! Like a flash of light it says what you want without a lot of words. Perhaps one day I will speak in Emoji, and you will listen with your eyes and ears. I like to use them, not just for the fun of it, but to quickly communicate something punctuating the humor, urgency, or emotion behind my voice.  The Japanese culture…

“One” of the blessings of Thanksgiving is “remembering”… Like revisiting a taste, hearing a voice, seeing a smile, or smelling a fragrance that brings the past into the present instantly. I have had several memories to nourish my affections and dreams this past week. It is one of the reasons the week in the north woods keeps me returning. It…

The New Testament writers encourage us to keep a very healthy understanding of Heaven. After hearing some very disturbing stats on the death rate around the world, I have started a new series devoted to our eternal home: Heaven! Alarming stats: 3 people die every second 180 die every minute 11 thousand die every hour 250 thousand people die per week So many people gamble…

  …that is the Ice Cream Social. It really is coming, along with great flavors from Kopp’s Custard, and even for those needing the non-sugar version, we got you covered. We are celebrating PFC’s 31st year, and the kick off of the fall season, so please join us this Wednesday at 6:30 pm. On Wednesday’s service, I spoke about our ministry and what goes into the years…
